This is something else I don't understand about this shooting but will wait for the facts to come out. I know in my kids schools, the doors are locked all day long....no exception. If you want in, there is one way in and its through the office and you have to be buzzed in. There is no way this could have happened at my kids schools unless 1) he shot his way in through the glass or
2) the office accicentally buzzed him in.
All the other doors are locked, made of steel etc.
I suppose someone could shoot their way in through the window and there we are, but there is no way a person is just walking into my kids school with a gun. Not possible.
Add an armed secutiry guard ( one of my kids schools has an armed cop there all day everyday) and I feel pretty good about it. ( Not sure every district in Texas has an armed cop there all day)
Sounds like your kids go to school in a prison.
All the schools I went to growing up were open campuses. Big windows. When you step outside you feel the sun in your face. I rode my bike to school by myself. Then I think about what kids have today and wonder if they really know what freedom is.
No actually it's quite nice. It's a neighborhood school and many are taken by their parents in golf carts, walk on the sidewalks or ride their bikes. They leave their bikes at the front of the school and no one uses a bike lock, just lays their bike down. Skateboards, scooters everywhere and nothing locked up. Teachers are all great, energetic and the class size is small and well funded. Each kid has a ipad. They have recess twice a day and parents often come eat in the cafeteria and bring kids lunch. My kid loves the chick fil a I bring him all the time and time we eat up there.
You can have all of this and have the school locked down during the day with each door outside locked. My kids probably don't even know the doors are locked. Each class has a large window to the outside and they can daydream watching the squirrels all they want.
Same thing with my kids' schools in Wyoming. I'm really surprised that this isn't SOP everywhere.
